Ended last season with two good 2m runs and looks well worth another crack at 2m4f
5	Witness Protection b J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	155	—	1/P4-6	129	149	121	22d	—	—	+17	27.8	8 13%
Put in good front-running shift over 3m here this month and 2m4f probably suits better
11	Walk In Clover b J:Tristan Durrell(5) T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell(5) T:Dan Skelton	148	—	92311-	122	144	114	30d	—	—	+31	40.7	17/2 11%
Improved form when completing a quick double last month; dangerous to ignore in this mood
12	Quid Pro Quo ch J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	147	—	PP31-2	121	150	96	15d	—	—	+17	24.9	11 9%
Has got his act together over fences this spring and is probably still on a workable mark
1	Tea Clipper b J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	168	p	23468-	142	151	111	29d	—	—	+14	29.3	9/2 18%
Safely held in major handicaps on final two starts last season but will find this easier
7	Captain Tom Cat b J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Dr Richard Newland	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Dr Richard Newland	152	b	762U-3	126	147	134	9d	—	—	+16	24.4	10 10%
Not the force of old but placed twice this spring and will be suited by today's ground
4	Raffle Ticket b J:Alex Edwards T:Mel Rowley	J:Alex Edwards T:Mel Rowley	157	—	3/31-1	131	151	125	20d	—	—	+24	34.8	13/2 13%
Low-mileage 9yo who is 2-3 over fences after last month's Worcester success; big player
8	Jacamar b J:Bryony Frost T:Milton Harris	J:Bryony Frost T:Milton Harris	151	p	1854-7	125	153	135	9d	—	—	+13	20.9	11 9%
Won in February but was largely below par last season; others preferred
9	Magic Dancer b J:Richard Patrick T:Kerry Lee	J:Richard Patrick T:Kerry Lee	151	tp	1/135-	125	148	132	99d	—	—	+23	26.7	25 4%
Won off this mark at Cheltenham in November but two lesser efforts have followed
2	Killer Clown b J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	163	t	/35F5-	137	155	113	37d	—	—	+19	23	18 6%
On a good mark now but needs latest wind op (his third) to have made a difference
3	Northern Bound b J:Luca Morgan T:Ben Pauling	J:Luca Morgan T:Ben Pauling	160	p	4121U-	134	148	126	30d	—	—	+30	32.9	33 3%
In career-best form last summer/autumn; needs to be back at peak to overcome this mark
6	Gloire Dathon b J:Aidan Coleman T:Sarah Humphrey	J:Aidan Coleman T:Sarah Humphrey	154	ht	11121-	128	143	122	29d	—	—	+35	46.3	13/2 13%
